CHESTER HORNE,' OF TORONTO, CANADA, ASSIGNOR OE TVO-THIRDS TO Y JOSEPH JONES DAVIES AND SAMUEL E. HORNE, OE SAME PLACE.

PRINTRS GALLEY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 465,931, dated December 29, 1891. Application-filed November 28, 1890. Serial No. 372.792. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHESTER HoRNE, printer, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Printers Galleys, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the invention is, first, to design a galley of simple, cheap, and durable construction, and, secondly, to provideasimple and ready means for adjusting the sidestick of the galley, whereby the loose quoins now commonly in use are dispensed with.

Figure l is a perspective view showing` the construction of my improved galley. Fig. 2 is a view of the main portion of -the frame as Fig. 3 is a view of the angle metal portion of the frame. Fig. 4: is a crosssection through .fr y, looking toward the closed end ofthe galley. Fig. 5 is a detail of the blocks.

In the drawings like letters indicate corresponding parts.

A is the main portion ofv the frame, which is bent at d and b (shown by dotted Ilines in Fig. 2) into the form shown by full linesin Fig. l, the parts A forming the sides, as indicated, and the portion B forming the one end, the other being preferably left open. The sides A are riveted at the top to the sides C of the angle-plate, forming a skeleton frame, and the end B is riveted at the top to the end piece C of the angle metal. The outer edge of the lower flange c ot' the angle metal butts atvthe sides and ends against the apex. of the angle formed at b. The sides C and end C are perpendicular to the bottom plate A. The ends a b are simply turned around the end B and riveted or otherwise secured to it.

D are blocks fastened to the side-stick.

E and F are blocks fastened to the adj usting-slide G, which is designed to move longitudinally in the groove g, formed by the bar H, which is secured to the bottom of the galley.

The blocks D have inclined sides d, with dovetail tongues d', which tit into and move lengthwise within corresponding grooves f', made in the adj acently-opposite inclined side 5o f of the block E. It will be noticed that the adjacent sides cZ and f of the central blocks are not tongued and grooved, as in practice we -[ind it cheaper and just as ettective not to do so, as they are really only necessary to sti-Eten the side-stick E.

I is a thumb-piece secured to the slide G.

J is an L-shaped piece secured to the sidestick E, the base lying at against Vthe loottom of the galley, and being only long enough to span the space between the side-stick E and that side of the galley when the sidestick is completely closed.

K is a strap against which the edge of the piece J butts, thus holding the side-stick in position during its lateral movement.

It will now beseen that -in order to adj ust the side-stick E laterally it is merely neces sary to manipulate the thumb-piece I'until the desired position of the side piece is obtained, when it will be securely locked.

In Fig. l I show the form more especially designed foranews-galley; butit will of course be understood that the side-stick and its locking attachment might be omitted it my galley is intended to be used as a job-galley. It

Vwill also be understood that the form ot' the tongue and groove in the blocks may be altered as long as it will not permit the blocks to draw apart.

From this description it will be seen thata cheap and effective galley is produced, as it without the use of screws, while the side-stick vadjusting and locking device is extremely simple and readily manipulated.

lVhat I claim as my invention is# l. A p'rinters galley consisting of a skeleton frame having a vertical portion C and a base c, extending at right angles therefrom, and a plate or frame having itssides and end turned up around the base-plate to inclose the skeleton frame, the parts being secured together, substantially as described.

2. In a printers galley, a side-stick having connected to it a set of blocks with inclined faces having dovetail tongues formed in the side to fit into corresponding grooves in a reversely-inclined side of the set of the blocks secured to the adjusting-slide, in combination with the grooved bar, L-shaped piece attached to the side-stick and stop, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

CHESTER I-IORNE.
